Good Introduction to Minor Keys
This course helped teach me the basics of the 3 minor scale variations and common chord progressions. I've played a lot of songs in major keys, so being able to understand how to link the chords together in minor keys was very helpful.
Fun and challenging!
Difficult courses that are very rewarding.
Ammazing
Nice song and choice to learn the Am scale and diatonic chords
Big fun :-))
For me it was challenging, but this is how it should be!
Fine course !
Love the way we practice inversions In this course.
Nice
Really enjoyed this even though it took a while to get through.
Great teachers and so much fun!
I always thought that music theory was to hard for me to learn and to understand but by taking it step by step these teachers made me believe that I can learn anything,! Well, almost anything 😂
A very good lesson
Jonny’s Canon and Jonny Darko melodies are beautiful tunes.
Timing is Everything
I have heard it said, "How a piano player responds to the click defines whether their future is as a soloist or a band member. " As a band member our sense of timing MUST sync with each other or it will never work. I am starting to understand how critical it is to play with a click track at this early stage. I enjoy the challenges associated with these exercises and do appreciate the structured presentation of the many details required to be successful as a pianist.
Nice Course
Really like the way the course is build up.
nice and easy
nice melody, easy to remember..
Learned so much!
Inversions are no longer a mystery to me!
Really fun
It’s challenging for me to play with groove
Very good!
I just dont give 5 stars because you cant change the backing track tempo. And in this case is just to fast in the beginning.
Fun
I learned a lot!
